| 摘要: |
To reduce cement consumption and promote eco-friendly construction materials, engineered geopolymer composites (EGC) have been developed as sustainable alternatives to engineered cementitious composites (ECC). This study systematically investigates the effects of precursor tailoring, specifically silica fume (SF) replacement ratio (5–15 %) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) content (20–80 %), on the mechanical properties, microstructure, and sustainability of EGC. The results show that appropriate precursor composition enables a wide strength coverage, with compressive strengths ranging from 48 to 117 MPa, meeting the requirements of different structural applications. Digital image correlation (DIC) and in-situ crack analysis reveal stable multiple cracking behavior, with ultimate tensile strains consistently exceeding 8 % and effective crack width control within 120 μm. These findings confirm the achievement of multiple cracking and high tensile ductility through coordinated fibre/matrix interaction and tailored precursor design. Additionally, microstructural characterizations (XRD, FTIR, TGA) show that higher GGBS contents promote C-(N)-A-S-H gel formation and a degree of geopolymerization, leading to matrix densification and enhanced mechanical properties. Moderate SF replacement also contributes to pore filling, further increasing the matrix compactness. From a sustainability perspective, a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA), using typical M45-ECC as a benchmark, shows that the developed EGC achieve approximately 50 % lower embodied carbon while maintaining comparable manufacturing feasibility. Overall, this study demonstrates that precursor-tailored EGC can simultaneously satisfy structural performance criteria and sustainability targets, highlighting their potential for low-carbon practical applications.

| 摘要: |
The improper disposal of marine bottom soft sediment poses significant risks to both ecological systems and human health. Due to its complex composition and contamination, sustainable remediation and reuse remain a major challenge. In tandem, the land limitation in some regions does not offer easy waste treatment, which in some cases hinders local governments in their waste management strategies. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes low-carbon treatments for contaminated marine mud, aimed at promoting efficient in-situ recycling and application as backfilling materials. The optimal treatments and long-term stability of the mud were attained by using aluminosilicate raw materials. Specifically, Unconfined Compressive Strengths(UCS) of up to 7.75, 4.24, 8.69, and 3.15 MPa were achieved respectively in mixtures containing 25% OPC, fly ash, slag, and 5% river sand. These mixtures not only improved the strength but also significantly immobilized the heavy metals efficiently, producing engineered-fill materials that meet both Chinese (GB36600-2018) and U.S. (EPA 540/2-86/001) standards, stipulated for health and environmental safety. Furthermore, the XRD analysis reveals a primary phase dominated by SiO2 and secondary phases of Ca(CO3), Mn1.7Fe1.3O4 and a complex silicate mineral phase. Each phase contributes to distinct structural, chemical and mechanical development of the solidified mud, which was influenced by the supplemented raw minerals, as confirmed by the morphological analysis. The proposed treatment formulations not only facilitate large-scale recycling of contaminated marine mud into valuable construction materials, but also advance environmental protection, enhance resource efficiency, and support the goals of carbon reduction and neutrality.

| 摘要: |
This article responds to Anderson et al.'s correspondence regarding "Fukushima Contaminated Water Risk Factor: Global Implications", clarifying several misinterpretations of the study's methodology and conclusions. We reaffirm that our research aimed to develop a multidimensional dynamic evaluation framework (FCWRF) integrating environmental transport, bioaccumulation, and seafood circulation to quantitatively assess the systematic risks of Fukushima contaminated water discharge, rather than to exaggerate them. The rebuttal emphasizes that although tritium concentrations from the Fukushima discharge are below background levels, the concentrated release pattern and the presence of multiple non-tritium radionuclides pose potential concerns. We argue that meeting international standards does not equate to risk elimination, particularly given the long-term cumulative effects of low-dose exposure. Using a two-compartment model coupled with Pacific bluefin tuna migration data, this study presents a comprehensive framework for dynamic risk assessment.

The ALPS treated water has been discharged into the Pacific Ocean since August 2023. This study investigates this discharge using a newly developed three-dimensional dispersion model that incorporates migration, diffusion, and decay processes of radionuclides. A simulation over ten years is conducted using reanalyzed oceanographic data. The results indicate that tritium released from Fukushima primarily disperses eastward along the 35°N latitude line. In later stages, local concentration peaks emerge in the northeastern Pacific, exceeding those in the northwest Pacific. For the vertical distribution, the tritium is generally reduced greatly with depth, but displays maximum values at subsurface layer (∼50m) in some regions. The concentration reaches a steady state over time, defined as the characteristic concentration, whose spatial distribution and attainment time are detailed. For major fishing grounds in the Pacific Ocean, the Hokkaido area shows the highest tritium levels, followed by Hawaii, California, Zhoushan, the Korean Peninsula, Mexico, the Philippines, Alaska, and Peru in descending order. Critically, simulated tritium concentrations in most North Pacific regions (∼0.01 Bq/m3) remain orders of magnitude below natural background levels (∼50 Bq/m3). This research elucidates three-dimensional radionuclide dispersion mechanisms in global oceans, providing a quantitative methodology for future marine emergency response and contributing to long-term marine conservation efforts.

| 摘要: |
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the construction industry. Ergonomic assessment methods can effectively prevent these disorders. Vision-based ergonomic risk assessment methods are widely applied in construction sites due to their cost-effectiveness and non-invasiveness. However, existing vision-based methods often face challenges in accurately estimating worker pose in real construction sites with visually obstructed environments, such as self-obstruction, object obstruction, and body parts out of view. Additionally, these methods lack consideration of external load factors for ergonomics. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes a multimodal ergonomic assessment method, combining visual data and pressure signals. Multimodal method integrates pressure and visual data in a unified feature space, improving pose estimation results and providing external load metrics for a more comprehensive ergonomic assessment. Field experiments show that the accuracy of pose estimation and risk assessment is enhanced, supporting the safety and health of construction workers.

The South China Sea Winter Monsoon (SCSWM) plays a critical role in the regional climate and atmospheric circulation patterns. This study explores the long-term change in the SCSWM from 1979 to 2023, focusing on its connection to the inhomogeneous warming trends of the Northwest Pacific Sea Surface Temperature (NWP-SST). Using NOAA ERSSTv5 and ERA5 reanalysis data, we uncover a strong relationship between the anomalous northeasterly winds, especially the zonal component, in the South China Sea (SCS) and the NWP-SST during boreal winter. Singular value decomposition (SVD) reveals that the NWP-SST is experiencing substantial warming, which could modulate the SCSWM. Evaluating several CMIP6 models, we demonstrate their ability to simulate this relationship reasonably. Future projections under shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP) 126, 245 and 585 indicate that NWP-SST inhomogeneous warming and the corresponding change in the monsoon will continue, especially under high-emission scenarios (SSP585). This study highlights the possible influence of ocean warming on the SCSWM, with potential far-reaching effects on the region's climate pattern.

As a typical representative of infrastructure, tunnels are indispensable carriers for the normal operation of cities, with their safe and efficient operation directly influencing urban efficiency. However, the various data supporting tunnel operation and maintenance (O&M) exhibit significant diverse sources and structural differences, which pose substantial challenges to tasks such as tunnel structural health assessment. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an ontology-based multi-source heterogeneous O&M data integration framework to support the assessment of tunnel structural health, thereby improving decision-making efficiency in tunnel maintenance. The framework consists of four layers: data layer, ontology layer, mapping layer, and application layer, enabling the unified modeling, integration, and comprehensive application of multi-source heterogeneous tunnel O&M data. Additionally, the proposed framework is applied to a practical engineering project, the Tanglang Mountain Tunnel. Compared with existing methods, the framework demonstrates improvements in data fusion accuracy, data completeness, and operational efficiency.

Manifold Microchannel Heat Sink (MCHS) is an effective device to dissipate the heat generated from the chips with large-scale circuits. Although it is found that adding ribs to the microchannels of the traditional MCHS improves its performance in heat dissipation, there is no systematic study to investigate the effect of adding ribs to the manifold MCHS. The pressure drops, mean temperatures, the Nusselt number, the heat enhancement efficiency, the characteristics of flows and heat transfers have been studied numerically in the manifold MCHS with five different shaped ribs and compared to the smooth manifold MCHS in this paper. The comparison shows that the development of boundary layers in the flow and temperature fields is interrupted by the ribs, which leads to an enhancement in heat dissipation. Compared to the smooth manifold MCHS, the ribs reduce the temperature of the substrate bottom by 9.2%-25.1% and the Nusselt numbers are increased by 11.5%-45.2%. However, the ribs in the microchannels increase the pressure drops by 55.7%-111.4%. As the Reynolds number increases, the influence of ribs on these key indicators becomes more pronounced. Through the computational analysis of the thermal enhancement efficiency, it is found that benefits of adding ribs overwhelms at higher Reynolds number (exceeds 200). The elliptical ribs are recommended among the different rib shapes under investigation and the heat enhancement efficiency achieves a maximum value of 1.17 when the Reynolds number is 450.

Three-dimensional (3D) digital design is extensively adopted in the architecture, engineering, consulting, operations, and maintenance (AECOM) industry to enhance collaboration among stakeholders. Although recommendation systems are commonly employed to facilitate purchasing in e-commerce websites, none involves recommending online products to users from 3D building design models due to dimensional and stylistic discrepancies. This study proposes a visionbased adaptive cross-domain online product recommendation method, VacRed, for 3D building design models. First, a cross-domain approach is proposed to transform design models into e-commerce images, addressing discrepancies in dimension and style between them. Second, an adaptive mechanism is introduced to solve the issue of image quality instability caused by variations in generator weights during the training process of generative models. Third, a cross-domain product recommendation system is developed based on deep learning to recommend the top k relevant online products for a given building design product. Finally, experiments were conducted to ascertain the effectiveness of the VacRed method. The experimental results of this method demonstrate its excellent performance, achieving a precision rate (PR) of 87.20% and a mean average precision of 83.65%. This study effectively connects two main stages in the AECOM industry, design and purchasing, and two large communities, design and e-commerce.

In this paper, an end-to-end framework for Intelligent Seismic Response Prediction, ISRPnet, is introduced. ISRPnet comprises a structural parameter module for discretizing reinforced concrete frame structures into a series of static features and an encoder-decoder architecture for encoding seismic loads and autoregressively predicting seismic responses. The model is trained on a data set of 16,544 cases generated through validated fibre-based finite element models. ISRPnet achieves promising performance on both frequent and rare earthquakes. ISRPnet rapidly and highly precisely predicts temporal responses for frequent earthquakes. The peak displacement predictions remain accurate for rare earthquakes. The superiority of the physical loss and the advantages of gated recurrent unit over long short-term memory are analysed in comparative experiments. Verification with unseen seismic waves beyond the training data shows the robust generalization and extrapolation capabilities of the framework. The proposed model accomplishes efficient surrogate computation of the full-process seismic response for a class of RC frame structures.

| 摘要: |
Efficient and accurate assessment of the Pedestrian-Level Wind Environment is essential to maintain a healthy and safe urban living environment. Numerical simulations, such as computational fluid dynamics and multi-scale modeling techniques, are commonly used for wind environment analysis. However, they are computationally intensive and time-consuming, particularly when dealing with the complexities of urban landscapes. This study proposes a novel Multi-Factor-Fusion (MFF) framework that leverages deep learning techniques. This framework integrates Graph Convolutional Networks and Long Short-Term Memory networks to extract and fuse multiple factors and create an end-to-end neural network model capable of directly predicting wind fields. By avoiding the need for grid division and iterative calculations, the framework significantly enhances the efficiency of wind environment analysis. Furthermore, multi-scale simulation data is used to train the model and correct the predictive results, ensuring the accuracy of the final results. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize the Pedestrian-Level Wind Environment prediction by achieving a trade-off between efficiency and accuracy.

| 摘要: |
As a digital representation of buildings, building information models (BIMs) encapsulate geometric, semantic, and topological features (GSTFs), to express the visual and functional characteristics of building components and their connections to create building systems. However, searching for BIMs pays much attention to semantic features, while overlooking geometric and topological features, making it difficult to find and reuse rich knowledge in BIMs. Thus, this study proposes a novel approach to intelligent BIM searching by embedding GSTFs via deep learning (DL). First, algorithms for extracting GSTFs from BIMs and identifying required GSTFs from search queries are developed. Then, different GSTFs are embedded via DL models, creating vector-based representations of BIMs or search queries. Finally, similarity-based ranking is adopted to find BIMs highly related to the queries. Experiments show that the proposed approach demonstrates an efficiency of 780 times greater than manual retrieval methods and 4–6% more efficient than traditional methods. This study advances the field of BIM searching by providing a more comprehensive, accurate, and efficient method for finding and reusing rich knowledge in BIMs, ultimately contributing to better building design and knowledge management.

With the gradual shift of marine resource development towards large-scale and deep-sea exploration, traditional analytical and simulation techniques are no longer able to meet the growing demands of users. Digital twin (DT) technology offers a potential solution to address these challenges in the marine domain. This study focuses on DT technology for marine applications, providing a detailed discussion on the concept, application framework, key technologies, and future developments in the marine DT (MDT) field. A systematic review of relevant literature on MDT was conducted using the Web of Science database, analyzing the research focuses within this field. This study proposes a definition for MDT and presents a five-layer application framework, including the perception layer, data layer, model layer, fusion layer, and application layer. Key technologies for MDT are summarized, with a particular emphasis on data collection and transmission, data storage and management, modeling and simulation, and monitoring analysis and evaluation techniques, along with their applications in the marine domain. The future prospects of MDT are discussed, and the construction and application of a DT platform are demonstrated using marine engineering as an example. Furthermore, potential challenges in the development of MDT are analyzed, and possible solutions are proposed.

| 摘要: |
The discharge of Fukushima radioactively contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean started in August 2023, posing comprehensive threats to marine ecosystems and human health globally. This study introduces the Fukushima Contaminated Water Risk Factor (FCWRF), which integrates three components-radionuclide diffusion, bioaccumulation, and global seafood trade-to evaluate the spatiotemporal distribution of risks based on actual discharge practices. Results suggest that comprehensive risks exceeding 2 orders of magnitude beyond the baseline will be transferred to six continents globally. Furthermore, the spread of such risks is projected to be six times faster than radionuclide diffusion. In the simulation, the results illustrated a small increase in radionuclide activity occurring in most regions of the Pacific Ocean. Nevertheless, the dimensionless FCWRF based on a novel integrated framework bridges the barriers among different fields in the risk assessment of radionuclides, thereby underpinning timely and effective responses from the global community.

| 摘要: |
Edge computing is vital in developing smart cities by providing on-site computational resources to support the surging Internet of Things demands. However, the distributed nature of edge nodes and large scale of tasks distributed in expansive urban spaces challenge task scheduling and resource allocation. In this paper, a novel framework is developed to achieve efficient task scheduling (assignment and offloading) and resource allocation for large-scale edge computing in both wired and wireless smart-city applications. To overcome overparameterization in existing optimization-based heuristic algorithms, the geometrized task scheduling problem is addressed by transforming the assignment of clustered tasks into a regional partition problem in a two-dimensional graph and applying a Tetris-like task offloading strategy for edge-cloud cooperation. These approaches avoid combinatorial explosion and NP-hardness, and the regional partition problem is solved by multiplicative weighted Voronoi diagrams with polynomial computational complexity. Furthermore, an adaptive resource allocation algorithm is proposed to overcome the dynamic, uncertain, and highly concurrent task requests. An online learning algorithm is adopted to adjust the sliding window length according to the evolving conditions. Comparison results show that the proposed framework significantly reduces the average task deadline violation rate, i.e., up to 4.72% of (more than 20 times better than) those using the other schemes, especially when handling large-scale workloads.

| 摘要: |
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) have emerged as a promising option for harnessing offshore wind resources, benefiting from better wind conditions in offshore areas, minimal impact on nearby coastal installations, and the ability to accommodate larger turbine sizes. Field measurements and physical model tests have demonstrated the occurrence of large-amplitude rotation in FOWTs, posing potential threats to structural integrity and causing fluctuations in electricity generation. Some studies have addressed these issues, but targeted and systematic research is noticeably lacking. This review aims to comprehensively identify and analyse the root causes of large-amplitude rotation in FOWTs, categorising them into various aspects such as hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, and aerodynamic loads, etc. The effects of nonlinear wave loads, low-frequency rotation, and negative aerodynamic damping are discussed in detail. Existing solutions proposed to mitigate large-amplitude rotation, including blade pitch control, tuned mass dampers, active ballast, and tuned liquid dampers, are summarised and evaluated. Nevertheless, most solutions to date have been adapted from fixed wind turbines. Accordingly, more specific and efficient measures must be proposed based on a more adequate understanding of the behaviour and causes of large-amplitude rotation.

| 摘要: |
The rapid development of the wind industry is accompanied by increasing environmental impacts. Currently, there is a lack of research on the impacts of offshore wind farm (OWF) on tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, including the mechanisms involved. This research is carried out by using a coupled and an uncoupled numerical model to investigate the impact of OWF on an autumn TC in the northeastern South China Sea. The results show that the wind speed deficit caused by OWF leads to an increase in surface pressure on the inflow side. This causes the surface pressure in the TC periphery to increase by advection, even if the TC is some distance away from the OWF. The increase in pressure gradient from the periphery to the TC center enhances the TC secondary circulation, thereby intensifying the TC. When the TC entersthe OWF, the above mechanisms weaken and the ocean dominates the TC intensification. This is because the reduction in wind speed caused by the OWF results in a weaker sea surface current velocity, which weakens the flow of upstream cold water into the OWF, warming the sea surface temperature (SST) within the OWF. This implies that the horizontal gradient of the local SST is an important factor to be considered in the development of OWF. Sensitivity experiments indicate that OWF can also intensify other types of TC, and that higher cut‐out wind speeds lead to stronger intensification effects. These results also provide a new perspective on TC intensity forecasts.

Large-scale foundation models have become the mainstream deep learning method, while in civil engineering, the scale of AI models is strictly limited. In this work, a vision foundation model is introduced for crack segmentation. Two parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods, adapter and low-rank adaptation, are adopted to finetune the foundation model in semantic segmentation: the Segment Anything Model (SAM). The fine-tuned CrackSAM shows excellent performance on different scenes and materials. To test the zero-shot performance of the proposed method, two unique datasets related to road and exterior wall cracks are collected, annotated and open-sourced, for a total of 810 images. Comparative experiments are conducted with twelve mature semantic segmentation models. On datasets with artificial noise and previously unseen datasets, the performance of CrackSAM far exceeds that of all state-of-the-art models. CrackSAM exhibits remarkable superiority, particularly under challenging conditions such as dim lighting, shadows, road markings, construction joints, and other interference factors. These cross-scenario results demonstrate the outstanding zero-shot capability of foundation models and provide new ideas for developing vision models in civil engineering.

| 摘要: |
High offshore installation costs are a significant factor limiting the competitiveness of offshore wind energy. One efficient installation approach for floating offshore wind turbines is to preassemble the tower, nacelle, and rotor onshore and perform a single lifting operation to mate the superstructure with the floating foundation at the installation site. It is heavy lifting, due to the weighty payload. At the end of the mating process, a loadoff operation is conducted to transfer the preassembly to the floating foundation. It results in a sudden change in total force acting on the vessel and causes substantial acceleration and potential damage to the mechanism in the onboard nacelles. The magnitude of acceleration of the onboard nacelles can vary greatly at different release instants. In this research, a simplified two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) (heave and pitch) model is also proposed to account for the heavy lifting process and variable ballast tanks. The sudden payload transfer is approximated using a hyperbolic tangent function to guarantee continuity and differentiability. The loadoff operation consists of the decision-making and vessel-stabilizing phases. Based on the nonlinear model predictive control method, a payload-transfer time selector and anti-pitch ballast controller have been developed to achieve optimal release time decisions and stabilize the vessel after payload release, respectively. Six-DOF simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are capable to a satisfying level of robustness of deciding the optimal payload release time instant, as well as limiting the peak and mean acceleration magnitudes of the onboard nacelles after payload release. The decision-making and control strategies may promote the sustainable energy transformation by extending the operation window and reduce the installation costs.

| 摘要: |
As global warming intensifies, the development of offshore wind farms is swiftly progressing, especially deep-water Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) capable of energy capture in deep-sea regions, which have emerged as a focal point of both academic and industrial interest. Although numerous researchers have conducted comprehensive and multifaceted studies on various components of wind turbines, less attention has been paid to the operational stage responses of FOWTs to wind, waves, and currents and the reliability of their structural components. This study primarily employs a theoretical analysis to establish mathematical models under a series of reasonable assumptions, examining the possibility of collisions between FOWT transport fleets and other vessels in the passage area during the towing process. Using the model, this paper takes the Wanning Floating Offshore Wind Farm (FOWF) project, which is scheduled to be deployed in the South China Sea, as its research object and calculates the probability of collisions between FOWTs and other vessels in three months from the pier near Wanning, Hainan, to a predetermined position 22 km away. The findings of the analysis indicate that the mathematical model developed in this study integrates the quantities and velocities of navigational vessels within the target maritime area as well as the speeds, routes, and schedules of the FOWT transport fleet. By employing statistical techniques and geometric calculations, the model can determine the frequency of collisions between various types of vessels and the FOWT transport fleet during the transportation period. This has substantial relevance for future risk assessments and disaster prevention and mitigation measures in the context of FOWT transportation.

The rapid development of coastal economies has aggravated the problem of pollution in the coastal water bodies of various countries. Numerous incidents of massive-scale marine life deaths have been reported because of the excessive discharge of industrial and agricultural wastewater. To investigate the diffusion of typical pollutants after discharge, in this study, a multi-process fusion simulation analysis model of pollutants under the action of ocean currents was established based on the concentration analysis method. Furthermore, key technologies involved, such as the parameter value, data selection, and visualization, were investigated. The iterative analysis and programming realization of three independent sub-processes, such as pollutant diffusion and transport, and the drift path and concentration distribution of pollutants after their discharge into the sea, were visualized. The case study revealed that the increase in the concentration of pollutants in the ocean was affected by the diffusion sub-process, and the transport sub-process plays a critical role in the long-distance transport of pollutants. The proposed method can provide technical support for marine environmental risk assessment and dynamic tracking of marine pollutants.

| 摘要: |
It is currently a prevailing trend to adopt clean energies instead of traditional ones due to the global climate change caused by carbon emissions. Offshore wind farms, in particular, have emerged as a crucial source of renewable energy, owing to their benefits such as no land occupation and abundant resources. However, the design, installation, operation, and maintenance (O&M) of floating wind turbines (FWTs) involve multiple sources of heterogeneous data, which pose challenges to data integration and management, as well as to the simulation and analysis of FWTs. To address this issue, this study proposes a unified framework based on digital twin (DT) to acquire and integrate diverse types of information used throughout the entire life cycle of FWTs. A digital 3D model serves as a medium to enable real-time synchronization and inversion of sensor data, facilitating the simulation and analysis of the global state of FWTs. The proposed framework is evaluated through a case study of a twin-barge float-over project, which includes process simulation, mechanical analysis, and anomaly identification. The results demonstrate that DT can facilitate timely monitoring and analysis of FWTs, and enable visualization of construction plans, early warning of structural abnormalities, and accurate recognition of FWT posture and marine environment. The case study validates the efficacy of the proposed framework in ensuring personnel and equipment safety, optimizing project plans, and improving construction efficiency.

The performances of construction supervisors are essential for the monitoring, control, and coordination of the construction process of a project in order to adhere to a predefined schedule, cost, quality and other factors. However, it is challenging to evaluate their performance due to limitations such as data deficiency, human error, etc. Thus, this paper proposes an approach to data-driven quantitative performance evaluation of construction supervisors by integrating an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and activity tracking. The proposed approach contains three parts, namely, index extraction, weighting, data-driven index calculation, and then validation by case study. Firstly, performance indexes were developed based on a literature review as well as surveys and function analysis of the information system for construction supervision (CSI system). Then, the weights of and relationships among of the indexes are determined by AHP. After that, with daily workflow and inspection activities tracked in the CSI system, a method and a software module for automatic calculation of indexes were developed. Lastly, the proposed approach was validated by a real-world case. The result showed that the proposed approach can quantify the performance of a construction supervisor systematically and automatically, which shed lights on how to evaluate the performance of a worker based on the tracking of daily activities. The data-driven process enhanced our strong interpretation of member actions and evaluation indexes, and can boost the performance of every member in an organization.

Mooring is a widely used stationkeeping approach for floating structures. The main contribution of thispaper is to propose a novel localization scheme, which provides additional real-time position references and estimates the unknown anchor positions to a moored structure simultaneously using tension measurements from the mooring monitoring system. The proposed method enhances the safety of moored floating structures by extracting redundant position information from tension measurements instead of using satellite signals. A line-of-sight model that transforms tension measurements into range signals is developed. Fairleads, turret dynamics, and slow-varying current profiles are considered to provide a more realistic and robust tension-based localization scheme than early research. A distance-only sensor network is constructed, and graph rigidity theory is applied to analyze its topological observability. Two simplified models are presented for some specific applications: (1) to find the broken anchors offline with stored data for any vessels equipped with tension cells and (2) to position the moored structures with known anchor positions. Sensitivity studies show that theinfluence of unknown surface current is small, while the effects of unknown current profiles are larger. The positioning accuracy can be improved by increasing the number of virtual vessels.

In the new era of Construction 4.0, the application of a large number of intelligent information technologies (ITs) and advanced managerial approaches have brought about the rapid development of intelligent construction management (ICM). However, it is still unclear how to assess the maturity of ICM. In this study, a maturity assessment system for ICM was formulated through literature reviews, questionnaires, expert discussions and a case study. A maturity scoring table containing five assessment dimensions and twenty assessment indicators was developed, and corresponding maturity levels and a radar chart of dimensions were designed. A case study of theassessments of two construction enterprises was conducted to validate that the proposed assessment system could be used by construction enterprises to quantitatively assess their ICM maturities and obtain both overall and specific assessment results. This study also proposed practical improvement methods to improve ICM maturities for construction enterprises with different maturity levels. Furthermore, the study also discussed the development direction of ICM at present and in the short-term future, which should be paid more attention to by the construction industry.

| 摘要: |
Simulation of pollutant dispersion and wind environment is of significant importance to the safety and health of pedestrians and residents. However, the high threshold of data collection and model configuration has hindered its application in the building industry. To address the problem, this paper proposes a Micro-in-Meso-scale (MiM) simulation framework for automatic and foolproof pollutant dispersion and wind environment simulation. The meso-scale Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model is first carried out to obtain city-level meteorology data with sufficient resolution. The micro-scale Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is then initialized to simulate pollutant dispersion and wind environment in building groups. The two models are coupled where the numerical results of WRF are provided to CFD for the configuration of boundary conditions. Fluid dynamics knowledge and spatial characteristics of building groups are also embedded in the model to lower the threshold of performing atmospheric simulations. A Geographic Information System (GIS)-based data management module is established simultaneously to achieve automatic collection, processing and management of raw data for simulation. The conversion algorithm of GIS data is further implemented to achieve the automatic generation of the CFD domain. Finally, the framework is developed to embed the data module and simulation module, and provide an easy-to-operate environment for building industry personnel. The framework is validated by data of actual building groups in four major cities in China. The test results illustrate the efficiency and feasibility of the platform. The study is expected to enhance the application of wind environment simulation in building industries.

The operability of service operation vessels (SOV) is highly concerned with the cost, schedule, and weather window to the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms. SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) vessel is introduced as a novel application as SOV to be deployed off the coast of southeastern China,an investigation into the operability for walk-to-work (W2W) on-site service using the new type of vessel is conducted in this study. The features of SWATH’s motion behavior are discussed by performing a seakeeping analysis, which is compared to a similar size monohull SOV. W2W operation and various operational limits associated with vessel and gangway dynamic response are modeled by the numerical method established in the frequency domain. Considering different W2W transfer approaches and wave headings, an in-depth analysis regarding the limiting wave height is carried out, the operability of three sites off the southeastern coast of China is predicted. SWATH demonstrates the excellent operability for both transversal and longitudinal transfer approaches as well as the robustness against arbitrary wave heading. The fuel consumption under the high sea-state shows higher usage compared to the monohull by a qualitative estimation using the second-order mean drift forces. With the average operability greater than 95% in the study, SWATH has proven to be an attractive type of vessel against monohull whose operability may drop to 60% to 80% in case of unfavorable heading or transfer approach. Due to lack of damping, the optimization of SWATH geometry and proper damping device may help further improve the operability by suppressing resonant heave and roll.

Information extraction (IE), which aims to retrieve meaningful information from plain text, has been widely studied in general and professional domains to support downstream applications. However, due to the lack of labeled data and the complexity of professional mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) information, it is challenging to apply current common deep learning IE methods to the MEP domain. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a rule-based approach for MEP IE task, including a “snowball” strategy to collect large-scale MEP corpora, a suffix-based matching algorithm on text segments for named entity recognition (NER), and a dependency-path-based matching algorithm on dependency tree for relationship extraction (RE). 2 ideas called “meta linking” and “path filtering” for RE are proposed as well, to discover the out-of-pattern entities/relationships as many as possible. To verify the feasibility of the proposed approach, 65 MB MEP corpora have been collected as input of the proposed approach and an MEP semantic web which consists of 15,978 entities and 65,110 relationship triples established, with an accuracy of 81% to entities and 75% to relationship triples, respectively. A comparison experiment between classical deep learning models and the proposed rule-based approach was carried out, illustrating that the performance of our method is 37% and 49% better than the selected deep learning NER and RE models, respectively, in the aspect of extraction precision.

| 摘要: |
In the past, knowledge in the fields of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries mainly come from experiences and are documented in hard copies or specific electronic databases. In order to make use of this knowledge, a lot of studies have focused on retrieving and storing this knowledge in a systematic and accessible way. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology proves to be a valuable media in extracting data because it provides physical and functional digital models for all the facilities within the life-cycle of the project. Therefore, the combination of the knowledge science with BIM shows great potential in constructing the knowledge map in the field of the AEC industry. Based on literature reviews, this article summarizes the latest achievements in the fields of knowledge science and BIM, in the aspects of (1) knowledge description, (2) knowledge discovery, (3) knowledge storage and management, (4) knowledge inference and (5) knowledge application, to show the state-of-arts and suggests the future directions in the application of knowledge science and BIM technology in the fields of AEC industries. The review indicates that BIM is capable of providing information for knowledge extraction and discovery, by adopting semantic network, knowledge graph and some other related methods. It also illustrates that the knowledge is helpful in the design, construction, operation and maintenance periods of the AEC industry, but now it is only at the beginning stage.

| 摘要: |
Site planning and building design results are generally managed in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Building Information Modeling/Model (BIM) separately. The incompatibility of data has brought potential challenges for the assessment and delivery of the results. A data integration and simplification framework for improving site planning and building design is proposed in this paper. A BIM-GIS integrated model with a multi-scale data structure is developed to link the results of site planning and building design together. Geometric optimization algorithms are then designed to generate simplified building models with different levels of details (LODs) based on the information required at each scale. This paper provides a feasible way to integrate planning and design data from different sources to enhance the evaluation and delivery of the results. The proposed approach is validated by a village construction project in east China, and results show that the method is capable to integrate site planning and building design results from different platforms and support seamless visualization of multi-scale geometric data. It is also found that a seamless database facilitates understanding of planning and design results and improves communication efficiency. Currently, the main limitation of this paper is the limited access to 3D real-world data, and data collection techniques like point cloud are expected to solve the problem.

| 摘要: |
Accurate fire load (combustible objects) information is crucial for safety design and resilience assessment of buildings. Traditional fire load acquisition methods, such as fire load survey, which are timeconsuming, tedious, and error-prone, failed to adapt to dynamic changed indoor scenes. As a starting point of automatic fire load estimation, fast recognition and detection of indoor fire load are important. Thus,this research proposes a computer vision-based method to automatically detect indoor fire loads using deep learning-based instance segmentation. First, indoor elements are classified into different categories according to their material composition. Next, an image dataset of indoor scenes with instance annotations is developed. Finally, a deep learning model, based on Mask R-CNN, is developed and trained using transfer learning to detect fire loads in images. Experimental results show that our model achieves promising accuracy, as measured by an average precision (AP) of 40.5% and AP50 of 59.2%, for instance segmentation on the dataset. A comparison with manual detection demonstrates the method’s high efficiency as it can detect fire load 1200 times faster than humans. This research contributes to the body of knowledge 1) a novel method of high accuracy and efficiency for automated fire load recognition in indoor environments based on instance segmentation; 2) training techniques for a deep learning model in a relatively small dataset of indoor images which includes complex scenes and a variety of instances; and 3) an image dataset with annotations of indoor fire loads. Although instance segmentation has been applied for several years, this is a pioneering research on using it for automated indoor fire load recognition, which paves the foundation for automatic fire load estimation and resilience assessment for the built environment.

| 摘要: |
Buildings consume a large proportion of global primary energy and building performance management requires massive data inputs. Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a tool used for comparing different buildings while avoiding problems caused by heterogeneous data sources. However, silos of building and energy consumption data are separate, and the linkages between a KPI formula and different data sets are often non-existent. This paper develops an ontology-based approach for automatically calculating the KPI to support building energy evaluation. The proposed approach integrates building information from BIM and energy and environmental information collected by sensor networks. A KPI ontology is developed to establish a KPI formula, thereby linking static and dynamic data generated in the building operation phase. Each KPI can be defined by inputs, a formula and outputs, and the formula consists of parameters and operators. The parameters can be linked to building data or transformed into a SPARQL query. A case study is investigated based on the proposed approach, and the KPIs for energy and environment are calculated for a real building project. The result shows that this approach relates the KPI formula to the data generated in the building operation phase and can automatically give the result after defining the space and time of interest, thus supporting building performance benchmarking with massive data sets at different levels of details. This research proposes a novel approach to integrating the KPI formula and linked building data from a semantic perspective, and other researchers can use this approach as a foundation for linking data from different sources and computational methods such as formula created for building performance evaluation.

| 摘要: |
Buildings account for a majority of the primary energy consumption of the human society, therefore, analyses of building energy consumption monitoring data are of significance to the discovery of anomalous energy usage patterns, saving of building utility expenditures, and contribution to the greater environmental protection effort. This paper presents a unified framework for the automatic extraction and integration of building energy consumption data from heterogeneous building management systems, along with building static data from building information models to serve analysis applications. This paper also proposes a diagnosis framework based on density-based clustering and artificial neural network regression using the integrated data to identify anomalous energy usages. The framework and the methods have been implemented and validated from data collected from a multitude of large-scale public buildings across China.

| 摘要: |
As an essential way to ensure success of construction projects, on-site inspection involves intensive paperwork, while generating large amounts of textual data. Lack of understanding of information hidden in text-based inspection records always leads to overlooking of important issues and deferred decisions. Therefore, a novel text mining approach based on keyword extraction and topic modeling is introduced to identify key concerns and their dynamics of on-site issues for better decision-making process. Then, the proposed approach was demonstrated in a real world project and tested with 7250 issue records. Results showed that the proposed method could successfully extract key concerns hidden in texts and identify their changes with time, thereby enabling a more efficient on-site inspection and data-centric decisionmaking process. This research contributes: (1) to the body of knowledge a new framework for discovering key concerns and their changes with time in texts, and (2) to the state of practice by providing insights on hot topics and their changes with time to reduce on-site issues and make decisions efficiently.

Battery capacity; hybridwind-photovoltaic system; optimization model; probabilistic approach |
| 摘要: |
In the present study, a novel probabilistic approach is proposed to optimize a stand-alone hybrid wind-photovoltaic renewable energy system installed in the South China Sea. This approach uses the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as the objective and the stability of the power generation as the constraint. In addition, the present study proposes a model of a battery-level coefficient, based on which the battery capacity can be probabilistically estimated, given the expected power shortage in a given continuous duration. This model discusses the optimization employing genetic algorithm (GA) when the model estimating the power generated from a hybrid wind- photovoltaic power system (HWPS) with a specific configuration is combined with the widely used cost model. The optimization verifies that the proposed probabilistic approach provides reasonable estimates of the power generation of a hybrid system in an optimization process. The verification reveals that the specifications of the duration to calculate the expected power shortage could have significant impacts on the estimates of power generations. Consequently, the present study performs a sensitivity analysis concerning the continuous power deficit days. The optimization and sensitivity analyses both indicate that the well-established loss of power supply probability (LPSP) criterion of 1% should not be applied universally across the South China Sea. In the areas with more stable winds and solar resources, the LPSP criterion can be relaxed when only the power deficit duration is concerned.

| 摘要: |
Tunnel engineering is one of the typical megaprojects given its long construction period, high construction costs and potential risks. Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are widely used in tunnel engineering to improve work efficiency and safety. During the tunneling process, large amount of monitoring data has been recorded by TBMs to ensure construction safety. Analysis of the massive real-time monitoring data still lacks sufficiently effective methods and needs to be done manually in many cases, which brings potential dangers to construction safety. This paper proposes a hybrid data mining (DM) approach to process the realtime monitoring data from TBM automatically. Three different DM techniques are combined to improve mining process and support safety management process. In order to provide people with the experience required for on-site abnormal judgement, association rule algorithm is carried out to extract relationships among TBM parameters. To supplement the formation information required for construction decisionmaking process, a decision tree model is developed to classify formation data. Finally, the rate of penetration (ROP) is evaluated by neural network models to find abnormal data and give early warning. The proposed method was applied to a tunnel project in China and the application results verified that the method provided an accurate and efficient way to analyze real-time TBM monitoring data for safety management during TBM construction.

| 摘要: |
For c-φ soil formation (cohesive soil) of limited width with ground surface overload behind a deep retaining structure, a modified active earth pressure calculation model is established in this study. And three key issues are addressed through improved soil arching effect. First, the soil-wall interaction mechanism is determined by considering the soil arching effect. The slip surface of a limited soil is proved to be a double-fold line passing through the retaining wall toe and intersecting the side wall of the existing underground structure until it reaches the ground surface along the existing side wall. Second, the limited width boundary is explicated. And third, the variation in the active earth pressure from parameters of limited c-φ soil is determined. The lateral active earth pressure coefficient is nonlinear distributed based on the improved soil arching effect of the symmetric catenary curve. Furthermore, the active earth pressure distribution, the tension crack at the top of the retaining wall and the resultant force and its action point were obtained. By comparing with the existing analytical methods, such as the Rankine method, it demonstrates that the model proposed in this study is much closer to the measured and numerical results. Ignoring the influence of soil cohesion and the limited width will exponentially reduce the overall stability of the retaining structure and increase the risk of accidents.

| 摘要: |
In order to investigate and predict dynamics and developments of the tropical cyclone boundary layer (TCBL), theoretical and engineering models depicting the TCBL wind field are of great academic and practical interest. In the present study, a linear height-resolving model, where the vertically varying turbulent diffusivity (K) and speed dependent surface drag coefficient (Cd) parameterizations are incorporated, is proposed based on the original model proposed by Kepert (2001). The proposed model is validated through comparisons with the estimates made based on the observational data gathered by dropsondes. As the more realistic and sophisticated parameterizations are integrated, the proposed model produces predictions in better agreements with observations in the lower part of the TCBL. It is noted that the value of the proposed model is not only the improvements over the original model by Kepert (2001), but also the room for more sophisticated K and Cd parameterizations. With the help of the proposed model, it is feasible to discern the fundamental relationships between K and Cd parameterizations and the TCBL wind field in a parametric study. As the first step, a few K and Cd parameterizations are implemented in the proposed model, and their influences on the prediction of the TCBL wind field are systematically discussed. It is concluded that, whereas the prediction of the TCBL wind field is sensitive to the parameterization of K, Cd has limited effects on the prediction. Moreover, assuming K and Cd as constants could lead to erroneous estimates of the wind profile and strength of surface winds in the TCBL.

| 摘要: |
With the development of modern information technologies and more frequent utilization of information systems to operation and maintenance (O&M) management, a great amount of O&M data are collected nowadays. However, because of the large volume and poor quality, as well as a lack of effective data analysis techniques, these data are rarely analyzed and translated into useful knowledge for O&M decisions. This study presents a data model, which is named as datacube with multi-dimensional and unrestrained characteristics, for these data to better support data mining algorithms. The model organizes all the different data in both relational database and in the memories and is able to support analysis-requirements-oriented data extractions. Based on this datacube, an O&M data mining approach is proposed with procedures of data preparation, data clustering and data mining. The proposed datacube-based data mining approach was applied to the Kunming Chang Shui international airport terminal. More than 7 years on-site repairing data were used for data mining and the outcomes verified the model and the approach to be feasible and valuable for improving O&M management.

| 摘要: |
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) models are generally characterized by information redundancy and a high density of irregularly shaped components. Consequently, they require large storage spaces and are not conducive for interchange purposes. Geometric optimization of MEP models can play a significant role in facilitating model exchange and handover by increasing storage, transmission and display efficiency. To date, the body of knowledge on such geometric optimization, unfortunately, is still very narrow.This paper presents and tests a solution for the optimization of storage, transmission, and display of MEP models. Storage optimization was achieved through a mapping-based model description method and a novel Quadric-Error-Metric (QEM) mesh simplification algorithm, reducing required storage while maintaining the contour of components. For transmission optimization, a normal vector compression algorithm and a fixed-dictionary specific compression algorithm were proposed to achieve efficient compression of data thus, fulfilling the need for cross-platform interchange. Display optimization was obtained through a normal vector regeneration algorithm for clustering triangle meshes to improve 3D display effects.The evaluation of the solution, performed for each individual component separately as well as for an entire solution, proved successful. Volume of storage data was reduced by 40% to 50% through mesh simplification. Data transmission volume was reduced by more than 80% for components with complicated geometry without affecting the topology of the components. Finally, the display process was capable of decreasing the number of triangles and delivering very good quality of displayed models.

| 摘要: |
Except for various properties, accurate and intuitive 3D representations of building elements and spaces are embedded in Building Information Models (BIMs). Thus, better understanding of spatial features of building elements and spaces is possible, which brings new opportunity in code compliance checking, indoor navigation, visualization, etc. With large amount of fine-grained 3D spatial data collected quickly and continuously, there is an urgent need for new methods to overcome problems like improper spatial expression, insufficient mining and utilization of information that exist in traditional methods. This research reviews state-of-the-art of related research and provides a summary of achievements and challenges in this area. Then, a framework consists of management, analysis, and application of 3D spatial data of BIM and a detailed discussion of each part are proposed, which would give the readers an overview of relevant methods, technologies, and tools. Moreover, potential research directions and open issues for future work are also discussed. The paper enables researchers to get a comprehensive understanding of 3D spatial data analytics of BIM as well as suggestions for future work, and thus makes a solid contribution in this area.

| 摘要: |
Evacuation path planning is of significant importance to safely and efficiently evacuate occupants inside public buildings. Current computer simulation methods carry out evacuation analysis and then provide emergency education and management with a vivid virtual environment. However, efficient evacuation path planning approaches for evacuation guidance still meet the challenges of generating the analysis models, and lacking of real-time analysis methods under dynamic circumstances. In this study, a dynamic path planning approach based on neural networks is proposed for evacuation planning in large public buildings. First, an automatic process to develop the evacuation analysis model with simplified but sufficient information is presented. Then a path generation algorithm is proposed, together with an evaluation process, to generate a number of training sets for policy neural networks. When the primary policy neural network is preliminarily trained, it falls into a self-learning iteration process. Finally, the approach embeds a dynamic algorithm to simulate the mutual influences among all occupants in the building. The neural network was trained according to a real large public building and then the approach managed to provide rapid and feasible evacuation guidance for both occupants to escape in multiple scenarios and managers to design the evacuation strategy. Test results showed that the proposed approach runs 8-10 times faster than existing software and traditional search algorithms.

BIM; MEP; logic chain |
| 摘要: |
In mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, logic chains refer to the upstream and downstream connections between MEP components. Generating the logic chains of MEP systems can improve the efficiency of facility management (FM) activities, such as locating components and retrieving relevant maintenance information for prompt failure detection or for emergency responses. However, due to the amount of equipment and components in commercial MEP systems, manually creating such logic chains is tedious and fallible work. This paper proposes an approach to generate the logic chains of MEP systems using building information models (BIMs) semi-automatically. The approach consists of three steps: (1) the parametric and nonparametric spatial topological analysis within MEP models to generate a connection table, (2) the transformation of MEP systems and custom information requirements to generate the pre-defined and user-defined identification rules, and (3) the logic chain completion of MEP model based on the graph data structure. The approach was applied to a real-world project, which substantiated that the approach was able to generate logic chains of 15 MEP systems with an average accuracy of over 80%.

| 摘要: |
Structural safety during construction is vital to engineering success of large scale bridges. However, difficulties in time-dependent structural modeling and data fragmentation of different engineering and management systems remain unresolved, hindering the plan, do, check, and adjust (PDCA) loop for structural safety management during bridge construction. In this paper, an integrated framework for closed-loop management of structural safety based on multisource data integration is presented. The proposed framework consists of a bridge safety information model (BrSIM), algorithms for data integration and semi-automatic time-dependent structural model generation, and methods for structural safety warning and assessment. The proposed BrSIM and algorithms integrate data related to 3D products, schedule, structural simulation and monitoring from various engineering systems, which covers the main data for structural safety management during construction. Meanwhile, automatic calculation and generation of static loads and constraints of a structural model based on 3D product information and monitoring data are also considered. Demonstration in the construction of a longspan bridge shows that with the proposed framework, it is possible to visualize the construction process, generate time-dependent structural models and simulate, monitor and assess the structural safety dynamically. Thus, the structural safety management loop is automated and fully closed. Furthermore, by tracking and simulating the changes of structural performance over time, and comparing the difference between simulation results and monitoring data, earlier detection and better evaluation of potential structural risks are achieved. Moreover, efficiency of information modeling and sharing is improved and effective management and decision-making are achieved with the proposed approach.

| 摘要: |
Metro protection is the task of evaluating, detecting, and controlling the potential threats presented by external projects to metro structures. To solve the problems encountered in metro protection work, including the isolation of models, difficulties in information extraction, and lack of data processing methods, this study introduced a building information model/modeling (BIM) technology and proposed a metro protection information model (the MPIM) based on the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) international data standard and its expansion mechanism. According to the information exchange requirements for metroprotection, the MPIM defines new customized IFC entities, property sets, and enumeration types to express the models in the metro protection domain. Then the conversion methods of the MPIM and other model formats and the information extraction and application technologies are studied. A metro protection system was developed to implement the MPIM-based model integration and provide assist in preliminary evaluation of external projects via information-rich the MPIM. A trial of the system from Guangzhou Metro’s Modiesha Station to Xingangdong Station indicated that the utilization of the MPIM in metro protection workflow could improve working efficiency and save time obviously; management staff claimed that the application of the system saved more than 40% of the time for project evaluation.

| 摘要: |
The hilly topography of Hong Kong influences oncoming winds and gradually changes their wind directions along the profiles' height. The vertical variation in wind directions, or the twist effect, significantly influences the Pedestrian Level Wind (PLW) field in urban areas of Hong Kong, thus it is a topic demanding systematic investigations. In this study, a new set of inflow boundary conditions are proposed to model twisted wind flows in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations. The new inflow boundary condition derived based on the horizontal homogeneous assumption, specifies a vertical profile of lateral wind speeds at the inlet boundary to sustain the twist effect in the empty computational domain. The proposed boundary conditions are used to simulate the PLW fields near three isolated buildings with different Height-to-Width ratio using two CFD codes; OpenFOAM, and FLUENT. The results reveal that OpenFOAM is more reliable in simulating PLW fields in twisted wind flows using the new set of boundary conditions. The three-dimensional flow field provided by the OpenFOAM simulation shows sparse streamlines downstream the buildings, indicating lack of organized eddies in the building far wake, which negatively affects the dispersion of air pollutants in twisted winds.

| 摘要: |
Incomplete building information in delivery and the lack of compatible tools for Operation and Maintenance (O & M) have hindered the development of the intelligent management of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems. In fact, the information related to the O & M management of the MEP system conventionally comes from the completion documents in the forms of hard copies or unstructured digital files, making it hard to search for useful information in the “sea” of documents and drawings. Therefore, digitalization of information is an urgent task to facilitate the intelligent management of the MEP system. As a project deliverable, the as-built information model shall not only contain geometrical information and necessary construction-related data, but also built-in information useful for the intelligent O & M management. In the present study, based on the Building Information Modeling/Model (BIM) technology, a set of solutions including the automatic establishment of the logic chain for MEP systems, an equipment grouping and labeling scheme and an algorithm to transform BIM information to GIS map model, is proposed to digitalize and integrate the MEP-related information into the as-built model. Subsequently, a cross-platform O & M management system is developed using the MEP-related information in the as-built model to run routine O & M tasks and to effectively response to MEP-related emergencies. The developed system is applied to aid the O & M management of MEP engineering in a real project, showing that the developed system facilitates the intelligent O & M management and guarantees the security of the MEP system and its subsystems.

| 摘要: |
Huge amounts of data are generated daily during the operation and maintenance (O&M) phase of buildings. These accumulated data have the potential to provide deep information that can help improve facility management. Building Information Model/Modeling (BIM) technology has proven potential in O&M management in some studies, making it possible to store massive data. However, the complex and non-intuitive data records, as well as inaccurate manual inputs, raise difficulties in making full use of information in current O&M activities. This paper aims to address these problems by proposing a BIM-based Data Mining (DM) approach for extracting meaningful laws and patterns, as well as detecting improper records. In this approach, the BIM database is first transformed into a data warehouse. After that, three DM methods are combined to find useful information from the BIM. Specifically, the cluster analysis can find relationships of similarity among records, the outlier detection detects manually input improper data and keeps the database fresh, and the improved pattern mining algorithm finds deeper logic links among records. Particular emphasis is put on introducing the algorithms and how they should be used by building managers. Hence, the value of BIM is increased based on rules, extracted from data of O&M phase that appear irregular and disordered. Validated by an integrated on-site practice in an airport terminal, the proposed DM methods are helpful in prediction, early warning, and decision making, leading to the improvements of resource usage and maintenance efficiency during the O&M phase.

Field measurement, Near-neutral stability, Spatial correlations, Turbulent length scale |
| 摘要: |
In the present study, the spatial correlation coefficients of wind speeds at different heights in the atmospheric boundary layer under near-neutral conditions are calculated based on field measurements taken by Doppler SODARs. To guarantee near-neutral stability, only measurements associated with relatively high wind strength (wind speeds in the lower boundary layer >10m=s) are used in the calculation. The correlation coefficients calculated from measured data are fitted to those predicted by models to derive a vertical integral length scale. Through investigating the vertical variations of the vertical integral length scale, which is essentially the mixing length, it has been found that (a) the mixing length increases linearly with heights below 70m, which agrees with the predictions from traditional models; (b) traditional models are applicable for predicting the vertical variation of mixing lengths in a near homogeneous sea-fetch wind flow; and (c) mean wind flow stretches the energy-containing eddy to produce larger mixing lengths, and this stretching effect is more prominent in a land-fetch flow.

Data ownership and privacy, Cross-party collaboration, Interoperability, Multi-server, Private cloud |
| 摘要: |
Interoperability remains the key problem in multi-discipline collaboration based on building information modeling (BIM). Although various methods have been proposed to solve the technical issues of interoperability, such as data sharing and data consistency; organizational issues, including data ownership and data privacy, remain unresolved to date. These organizational issues prevent different stakeholders from sharing their data due to concerns regarding losing control of the data. This study proposes a multi-server information-sharing approach on a private cloud after analyzing the requirements for cross-party collaboration to address the aforementioned issues and prepare for massive data handling in the near future. This approach adopts a global controller to track the location, ownership and privacy of the data, which are stored in different servers that are controlled by different parties. Furthermore, data consistency conventions, parallel sub-model extraction, and sub-model integration with model verification are investigated in depth to support information sharing in a distributed environment and to maintain data consistency. Thus, with this approach, the ownership and privacy of the data can be controlled by its owner while still enabling certain required data to be shared with other parties. Application of the multi-server approach for information interoperability and cross-party collaboration is illustrated using a real construction project of an airport terminal. Validation shows that the proposed approach is feasible for maintaining the ownership and privacy of the data while supporting cross-party data sharing and collaboration at the same time, thus avoiding possible legal problems regarding data copyrights or other legal issues.

| 摘要: |
Several challenges have been found in the current applications of building information modelling/model (BIM) technology in large-scale mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) projects, such as the huge modelling workloads of MEP models and details, untapped potential in supporting cooperative construction management with multiple participants and insufficient functions for intelligent facility management. This paper proposes a multi-scale solution to address the insufficiencies of the current applications in the construction and facility management of MEP projects. Particularly, a practical multi-scale BIM consisting of several macro-, micro- and schematic-scale information models is described in detail with the required information of the MEP components according to the schema of industrial foundation classes. Based on this model, the paper presents a BIM-based construction management system to provide virtual construction scenes with appropriate scales for various participants to communicate and cooperate, as well as a BIM-based facility management system to share information delivered from previous phases and improve the efficiency and safety of MEP management during the operation and maintenance period. The application in a real-world airport terminal illustrates that the proposed model and two systems can support collaborative construction management and facility management with multi-scale functionalities among participants. This paper proposes a series of feasible models and techniques to promote BIM application in large MEP projects.

| 摘要: |
In both structural and environmentalwind engineering, the vertical variation of wind direction is important as it impacts both the torsional response of the high-rise building and the pedestrian level wind environment. In order to systematicallyinvestigate the vertical variation of wind directions (i.e.,the so-called ‘twist effect’) induced by hills with idealized geometries, aseries of wind-tunnel tests was conducted.The length-to-width aspect ratios of the hill models were 13⁄, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3, and the measurements of both wind speeds and directions were taken on a three-dimensional grid system. From the wind-tunnel tests, it has been found that the direction changesandmost prominentat the half heightof the hill. On the other hand, the characteristiclength of the direction change, has been found to increase when moving from the windward zone into the wake. Based on the wind-tunnel measurements, a descriptive model is proposed to calculate both the horizontal and vertical variations of wind directions. Preliminarily validated against the wind-tunnel measurements, the proposed model has been found to be acceptable to describethe direction changesinduced by an idealized hill with anaspectratio close to 1.For the hills with aspect ratios less than 1, while the description of the vertical variation is still valid, the horizontal description proposed by the model has been found unfit.

| 摘要: |
Though hilly topography influences both wind speeds and directions aloft, only the influence onwind speeds, i.e. the speed-up effect, has been thoroughly investigated. Due to the importance of a model showing the spatial variations of wind directions above hilly terrains, it is worthwhile to systematically assess the applicability and limitations of the model describing the influence of hilly topographies on wind directions. Based on wind-tunnel test results, a model, which describes the horizontal and vertical variations of the wind directionsseparately, has been proposedin acompanion paper. CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques wereemployed in the present paper to evaluate the applicability of the proposed model. From the investigation, it has been found that the model is acceptable for describing the vertical variation of wind directionsby a shallow hill whose primary-to-secondary axis ratio (aspect ratio) is larger than 1. When the overall hill slope exceeds 20°, the proposed model should be used with caution. When the aspect ratio is less than 1, the proposed model is less accurate in predicting the spatial variation of wind directions in the wake zone in a separatedflow. In addition, it has been found that local slope of a hill has significant impact on the applicability of the proposed model. Specifically, the proposed model is only applicable when local slope of a hill varies gradually from 0 (at the hill foot) to the maximum value (at the mid-slope point) and then to 0 (at the hill top).

| 摘要: |
Medium and large construction projects typically involve multiple structural consultants who use a wide range of structural analysis applications. These applications and technologies have inadequate interoperability and there is still a dearth of investigations addressing interoperability issues in the structural engineering domain. This paper proposes a novel approach which combines an industry foundation classes (IFC)-based Unified Information Model with a number of algorithms to enhance the interoperability: (a) between architectural and structural models, and (b) among multiple structural analysis models (bidirectional conversion or round tripping). The proposed approach aims to achieve the conversion by overcoming the inconsistencies in data structures, representation logics and syntax used in different software applications.The approach was implemented in both Client Server (C/S) and Browser Server (B/S) environments to enable central and remote collaboration among geographically dispersed users. The platforms were tested in four large real-life projects. The testing involved four key scenarios: (a) the bidirectional conversion among four structural analysis tools; (b) the comparison of the conversion via the proposed approach with the conversion via direct links among the involved tools; (c) the direct export from an IFC-based architectural tool through the Application Program Interface (API), and (d) the conversion and visualization of structural analysis results. All these scenarios were successfully performed and tested in four significant case studies. In particular, the conversion among the four structural analysis applications (ETABS, SAP2000, ANSYS and MIDAS) was successfully tested for all possible conversion routes among the four applications in two of the case studies (i.e., Project A and Project B). The first four steps of natural mode shapes and their natural vibration periods were calculated and compared with the converted models. They were all achieved within a standard deviation of 0.1 s and 0.2 s in Project A and Project B, respectively, indicating an accurate conversion.

| 摘要: |
As the information from diverse disciplines continues to integrate during the whole life cycle of an Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) project, the BIM (Building Information Model/Modeling) becomes increasingly large. This condition will cause users difficulty in acquiring the information they truly desire on a mobile device with limited space for interaction. The situation will be even worse for personnel without extensive knowledge of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) or for non-experts of the BIM software. To improve the value of the big data of BIM, an approach to intelligent data retrieval and representation for cloud BIM applications based on natural language processing was proposed. First, strategies for data storage and query acceleration based on the popular cloud-based database were explored to handle the large amount of BIM data. Then, the concepts “keyword” and “constraint” were proposed to capture the key objects and their specifications in a natural-language-based sentence that expresses the requirements of the user. Keywords and constraints can be mapped to IFC entities or properties through the International Framework for Dictionaries (IFD). The relationship between the user’s requirement and the IFC-based data model was established by path finding in a graph generated from the IFC schema, enabling data retrieval and analysis. Finally, the analyzed and summarized results of BIM data were represented based on the structure of the retrieved data. A prototype application was developed to validate the proposed approach on the data collected during the construction of the terminal of Kunming Airport, the largest single building in China. The case study illustrated the following: (1) relationships between the user requirements and the data users concerned are established, (2) user-concerned data can be automatically retrieved and aggregated based on the cloud for BIM, and (3) the data are represented in a proper form for a visual view and a comprehensive report. With this approach, users can significantly benefit from requesting for information and the value of BIM will be enhanced.

| 摘要: |
Virtual Construction (VC) applications encounter difficulty in sharing and exchanging information with one another due to the long periods of interoperability limitation. To address these issues, an Industrial Foundation Classes-based graphic information model (IFC-GIM) is developed according to the exchange requirement of VC, and using the representations of three models in the IFC schema and its extension by defining the dynamic property set and properties for animation. The three models include the physical object model, the construction information model, and the realistic model. An OpenGL-based VC platform is developed and applied to a 440-m-high building to implement the IFC-GIM. The results demonstrate that the proposed IFC-GIM lays the foundation for data sharing and exchange among VC systems and other IFC-compliant applications, which, in turn, significantly reduces the modeling effort for VC and increases the value of VC results. Furthermore, animation is applied to simulate construction activities by the VC platform in addition to color and transparency, enhancing realistic feelings in 4D applications.

| 摘要: |
In order to achieve the information-based integrated construction management, e.g., time-dependent structures analysis, schedule/resource/cost conflict analysis as well as dynamic collision detection amongst site facilities and main structure elements, an integrated archetypal system named 4D-GCPSU 2009 is developed. Through 3 project examples, it is verified that the integrated solution is able to assist construction managers or owners in the aspects of analysis and management for process conflict and structural safety problems during construction. The application outcome of the system is accepted and praised by users as they considered that the system functions and analysis results provide significant reference support to the approval and revision of construction proposals, increase efficiency and safety concerning building construction. They also point out some difficulties in practice. As for those difficulties mentioned, a series of solutions plus further development orientation are put forth.

| 摘要: |
Strengthening construction safety analysis and management is of great social and economic significance. For a long time, however, there has been a lack of effective management tools in this important area that involves people's lives and property. Based on new developments in the Building Information Model (BIM), four-dimensional (4D) technology, time-dependent structural analysis, collision detection, and so on, a 4D structural information model is presented and established according to the overall solution of analysis and management for conflict and safety problems during construction. Based on this sub-BIM, the integration of dynamic safety analysis of time-dependent structures, conflict analysis and management of schedule/resource/cost, and dynamic collision detection of site facilities is studied, and theories and key technologies are discussed in detail. The results of this research provide a feasible theory and methodology for integrated applications of BIM. Furthermore, this study proposes a new approach for conflict and safety analysis during construction through the integration of construction simulation, 4D construction management, and safety analysis. The approach lays a foundation for the popularization of complicated theories and methodologies, and has theoretical significance and application prospects in meeting the needs of improving the safety level during construction.

| 摘要: |
The accurate spatial 3D models and corresponding coordinates of every key point are needed to determine the sizes, shapes, and locations of installation for all curtain wall elements in the process of production and construction. To solve the transition problems between architectural design and construction design of curtain wall system, four kinds of single-constrained computer-aided 3D modeling algorithm for spatial point-line models were discussed in detail. Then, a multi-constrained iterative 3D modeling process was proposed by considering coupling relationships amongst the various constraints. A 3D modeling system named T3-CW-CAD was developed and applied to the Shenzhen Airport Terminal 3. The application results showed that the presented-algorithm can meet the overall demand for automatically generating multi-layer 3D models according to spatial point-line model, along with sizes and other restraints amongst curtain wall elements, therefore playing a key role in guiding the production and construction of curtain wall system.

| 摘要: |
In this paper, we give a state review of modeling methodologies for four-dimensional computer-aided design (4D CAD) and three-dimensional (3D) animation of operations simulation. We then present our efforts of integrating 4D CAD and 3D animation of operations simulation to facilitate the construction planning of the main stadium for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (nicknamed the “Bird’s Nest”). We propose a “zoom” interface between 4D CAD and 3D animation of operations simulation to enable a natural synergy of two separate, but organically linked research streams. For concept proving and application demonstration, we seamlessly integrated two computer systems resulting from previous in-house research to plan and visualize the construction of the “Bird’s Nest” in close collaboration with the main contractor. The integrated construction planning methodology is found instrumental in visually and intuitively conveying the master project schedule and detailed operations plan for construction of the “Bird’s Nest”.
